I have no opinion on how women present themselves, but I think this reflects a broader tendency in conservative culture to naturalize narrow definitions of beauty and attach judgments about character and respectability to personal appearance. Real change would address that.

Today’s world starts to make sense when you realize many people are passionately anti-intellectual. “I get upset when I see someone reading.” That’s anti-intellectual. “I have zero interest in old movies or books.” That’s anti-intellectual. “Chatbots will make college obsolete.” You hate the intellect, my friend.

I'm glad that people are finally calling Altman the criminal he is, but let's not forget - The entire AI Industry committed the "largest theft of labor in human history" YEARS ago & have been walking free since They will never stop breaking the law until they're all in PRISON
Sam Altman needs to go to jail. He presided over unprecedented cybercrimes. He claims his company has a high chance of killing humanity. Jail.

Most people carry 8+ dormant herpesviruses in their bodies right now, quietly inactive for decades. Epstein-Barr. Cytomegalovirus. HHV-6. HHV-8. Chickenpox virus. Your immune system usually keeps them locked down. COVID doesn't respect that lock.

The argument is that a bibliography is supposed to be stuff you've FUCKING READ AND THOUGHT ABOUT.
what is the argument against using AI to compile a large bibliography?--as this is pretty mindless work

I think some of the push to use AI in writing comes from how a lot of non-AI writers think the point of writing is to get published when really the point of writing is to remove this weird thing from your body and teach it tricks

Oh don't worry, it's not a race against other writers. It's just a race against your own death

This is why it drives me mad when people say, “Don’t you wish you’d had AI to write your college essays?” No, because writing those essays was a pleasure, because I enjoy looking things up in books and I like learning. I take pride in my work because I’m not a loser.
not to be a fucking nerd or anything but writing academic papers is actually super fun when you have a genuine interest in the topic

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade

Super disappointed in @AARP for encouraging elderly, computer-naive people to use AI for *anything*. Tell them about actual good resources! @canva! @LibbyApp! So many better options!

On Threads they’re debating whether using big words is ableist. I’m sick of this anti-intellectualism masquerading as social justice. People are making excuses to avoid having to do anything hard, but at some point you have to grow up and read and learn and challenge yourself.
